Following an  electrical storm on Magnetic Island, during which a house was hit by lightning at Picnic Bay ,where  130mm of rain was recorded ,  a  winged wonder, dubbed the Monsoon Moth,   flew into  the Nelly Bay  shopping centre  and  deposited  eggs  near  the  ATM, not far from the French restaurant  ; the welcome rain brought out flying ants , chased by resident  lizards. .
